I hope it counts, I got sick of talk radio, and popped a CD into the car stereo on the way to dinner a couple hours ago. Dixie CHicks.

Enzo wrote:Plain old car radio. After sundown, AM radio goes a long way. Boston is no trouble - 50,000 watts too. A 1000 watt station from South Carolina might be tough. I routinely listen to New Orleans on 870 (our local NPR station is on that channel during the day) KNOX in St.Louis is any night. KDKA 1120 Pittsburg any time. WRVA 1140 Richmond VA comes in most nights. 1210 in Phila, etc.
In the car some night, just step down the AM dial and you will hear many distant stations coming in like locals.
In fact, sometimes when conditions are "right" I get interference on 1030 Boston from a station on the same frequency from Cuba.

troubleagain wrote:Heh. Prolly just as well. But then again, an mp3 player is a cool thing to have anyway....I have pretty much my entire music collection with me all the time.
